What is it?

What is this part in the passenger side wheel well? It is cracked. I'd like to replace it while I have everything apart. Thanks

That's the DRL (daytime running lights) resistor.

No, that is the low speed radiator fan voltage dropping resistor.

Hmmm....OK, which is it? And is it like a dealer only or can it be bought at an auto store?

Since resistors don't drop voltage, it must what Mr A. said.

It would be a common Taurus part probably the same as Gen 2s also. Any auto parts store should have one.

My bad, Paul is correct. I had a brain fart this morning.

Dropping voltage is precisely the purpose of resistors. Current remains constant through a resistor.

Mine looks a whole lot worse then that and works perfect. Been that way since I bought the car back in 2001.
